Cluster formation in a stepping stone model with continuous , hierarchically structured sites
A stepping stone model with site space a continuous, hierarchical group is constructed via duality with a system of (delayed) coalescing \stable" L evy processes. This model can be understood as a continuum limit of discrete state-space, two allele, genetics models with hierarchically structured resampling and migration. The existence of a process rescaling limit on suitable large space and tim...
متن کاملStepping-stone model with circular Brownian migration
In this paper we consider a stepping-stone model on a circle with circular Brownian migration. We first point out a connection between Arratia flow and the marginal distribution of this model. We then give a new representation for the stepping-stone model using Arratia flow and circular coalescing Brownian motion. Such a representation enables us to carry out some explicit computation. In parti...
متن کاملThe Stepping Stone Model . Ii : Genealogies and the Infinite Sites Model
This paper extends earlier work by Cox and Durrett, who studied the coalescence times for two lineages in the stepping stone model on the two-dimensional torus. We show that the genealogy of a sample of size n is given by a time change of Kingman’s coalescent. With DNA sequence data in mind, we investigate mutation patterns under the infinite sites model, which assumes that each mutation occurs...
متن کاملIsolation-by-distance-and-time in a stepping-stone model.
With the great advances in ancient DNA extraction, genetic data are now obtained from geographically separated individuals from both present and past. However, population genetics theory about the joint effect of space and time has not been thoroughly studied. Based on the classical stepping-stone model, we develop the theory of Isolation by distance and time. We derive the correlation of allel...
متن کاملA Stepping Stone to Pluripotency
Somatic cells can be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells via either expression of transcription factors or addition of small molecule chemicals only. Zhao et al. reveal a unique intermediate state during chemical reprogramming allowing a significant improvement in its efficiency and kinetics.
